Sweet Carousel's Laced Up Cabaret + a Giveaway Winner!

This past Friday I joined some of Edmonton's most eclectic, fun and unique individuals at the Empire Ballroom to take in Sweet Carousel Corsetry's much-anticipated 'Laced Up Cabaret.' The place was packed and the energy in the room was buzzing even before the show started.

I was able to get a few pics of the crowd. I love how people dressed up, some even in costumes.

The dress on the left was made entirely out of latex!

Burlesque dancer 'Lucky L'Amore' started the show off with a cute little striptease....

And then the much-anticipated fashion show started.

How gorgeous are these hand-made corsets?? Seriously!

All the models had major sass. It was so fun watching them strut their stuff across the stage as the crowd whistled and cheered them on.

Cheeky ; )

I so wanted to try these on.

What I loved about the show (besides all the beautiful corsets obviously) was that the models were all different shapes and sizes; they totally OWNED the stage and looked like they were having a blast up there!

Talented designer Elise Truong waves to the crowd at the end of a very successful show.

Amazing!! And like you said, what I especially love about all of this was the fact that all the models were so different. It's so refreshing to see some uniqueness and personality on a catwalk instead of the usual models-as-hangers type that usually walks down them. You ladies all look beautiful too, I'm loving your chic black look!
